A MAN has died and another is fighting for their life after a horror car crash.
Police were called to reports of a single-vehicle collision on the A303 in Somerset at just after 2pm on Saturday.
Paramedics pulled a man in his 50s from the wreckage, between Sparkford and Wincanton.
He was tragically pronounced dead at the scene, while three others were rushed to hospital.
It is understood one person remains in life-threatening condition.

Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue confirmed four people had become trapped inside a car after it veered off the road near Compton Pauncefoot and crashed into a ditch.
